With the arrival of HEAT, our skies have become an uninspiring, opaque haze.
Never mind. It won’t last.
Nothing does.
.
For the time being I shall not be wandering about outdoors or making any of my feeble gardening attempts, though of course I shall not be neglecting my regular duties.
Food and water demands must be met.
Late in the day, Grant trundles about with a hose to water the wilting flowerbeds. Yesterday he discovered that his vegetable patch has come under attack and there may be no acorn squashes after all 🙁
Caterpillars, he believes.
Ah well.

Clover is in bloom everywhere.
Each flower a work of art.

The overall look of clover covering the slopes is quite pleasing, but I always stop to look down.
The variety seems endless.

Bird’s foot trefoil
The pattern is less varied
.
The differences very subtle.
Perfection!
.
A baby Red.
What could be more perfect than this?
.
Nature has a sense of humour.
Some grey squirrels have red tails.
And some have a sort of patchwork.

To finish, here’s a couple more of these!
Thank you, Carolyn, for the delightful post! The spectacular sky and clouds photos, the clover flowers that indeed are works of art, and the cutest baby squirrel you are lucky to see in your garden! You are so blessed, Carolyn!

Regardless of the weather or season, you still manage to capture the moment in your lovely photos.
Is it hot there? Landed in Somerset (UK) on the 6th of June and it’s been wet, grey, and cold. Only the last couple of days have been decent. Getting ready for Glastonbury Festival. 😉
Yes, very hot though it could be worse and we do have a/c. Hope you get good weather for Glastonbury!
Me too and hope it’s not a mud fest!
Absolutely bloomin’ marvellous! To think that no two of anything are exactly alike just blows my mind!
I had no idea clover flowers were so beautiful! Thank you.
The clover flowers are so pretty – I’ve never seen them up close. It’s hard to decide which is the most beautiful – the flowers or a baby Red!
The clover is lovely, but a baby red squirrel wins the prize today.
Best wishes, Pete.
